Chicago’s top cop said Thursday one of his officers was seriously beaten at an accident scene because the national focus on police shootings has caused officers to second-guess themselves.
Superintendent Eddie Johnson said the patrol officer told him she did not use her gun to defend herself for fear of a backlash. "She didn’t want her family or the department to go through the scrutiny the next day on national news," he said.
The injured officer, a 17-year Chicago police veteran, got into a struggle with a man who allegedly was high on PCP after she stopped at a crash scene in the Austin community on the West Side on Wednesday morning.
The suspect smashed the officer's face into the pavement repeatedly until she was unconscious, police said.

Look up “Homan Square” and your question will have a most definite, if not particularly satisfying, answer.
Everyone here should know better than to take a government employee at their word.
My hoax and BS meter are working normally and you set off both slick.
Btw, She is still in the hospital. Ya think that's a hoax too?
A total lack of due diligence on your part clearly indicates you don't know the meaning of due diligence, otherwise you'd understand they have video of the attack...lol
If you knew how to perform due diligence you'd also understand in fact 3 officers were injured and transported to the hospital, and the suspect has a background record which includes major criminal violence.
You ought to get your thoughtomator fixed Jr and while your at it, look up the definition of due diligence.
Btw, they have video of the attack. lol...See 22.
This is news, you’re saying a Republican Congressman voted for obarrycare?
Who was that?
You really are one ignorant individual.
You’re actually suggesting the two other cops who were also injured and transported to the ER were all faking it and in on the hoax as well? Really? Was Chicago brass, who routinely visit injured officers in the hospital also in on this hoax? How about the paramedics who transported them? No record of that, they were all in on it too? How about the video of the attack? All a hoax? How about the vehicle which struck the business, was that also part of this elaborate hoax? How about all the witnesses, who clearly had to be present in day time big city environment like this. And I guess the physicians who treated all the hoaxsters were all in on it too!
Wow...
I really had to read your bull sh*t closely, to make sure your weren’t be sarcastic and joking. What a piece of work you are.
Good post drag. Best smack down of the year so far!
The female officer who Chicago's top cop said didn't use her gun to defend herself for fear of a public backlash sustained a severe concussion after her attacker repeatedly slammed her head onto concrete pavement until she lost consciousness and pulled chunks of hair from her head, according to Cook County prosecutors.
The officer, a 17-year veteran, also suffered bone chips to her shoulder and wrist, a neck injury and bruises and abrasions, prosecutors said.
A second male officer also suffered severe injuries in the attack Wednesday by a Maywood man moments after he crashed a car into a Cicero liquor store, prosecutors said. The officer also sustained a concussion, a broken right thumb, a torn quadriceps muscle, cuts and bruises, they said.
A judge ordered Parta Huff held without bail on charges of attempted murder of a police officer and multiple counts of aggravated battery to a police officer. Authorities said he testified positive for PCP."

Going to dig your heels in and continue to call BS?
The hospital, the judge, the police chief, the three cops involved, the reporters and local businessman are all in on it? All lying?
Quite the conspiracy!
She allowed herself to get beaten unconscious by a criminal high on PCP in order to get disability?
I will change my opinion IF new, contradictory information surfaces. You have failed to provide any evidence of anything other than that you have not yet learned to distrust government to a degree appropriate to the times.
Before casting accusations of ignorance, perhaps you ought to do some critical analysis of the story.
The things you have to believe to take this story at face value are quite remarkable. I’m surprised you can’t spot them - at least one was immediately apparent to me.
During my years on the fire department we sometimes had 110 pound crazy or high women that took 6 people to hold down. People punch, kick, bite, scratch, spit, pull weird/crazy ninja moves, not to mention using any available object to stab or hit you with. Little people or kids can be incredible difficult to control, but big guys can be nearly impossible to take down unless you have some real bruisers on your side.
I've heard of them falling down steps, getting rear ended and any number of things to get low back, bad knee disability only to go on and run triathalons, get second jobs and live off the pension/disability wagon.

thoughtomater didn’t quite think this out. The only question in my mind is what this posters motive is here. If their only motive was to make an ass out of themselves, he/she overwhelmingly succeeded.
One last thing for you. You stating this was all an elaborate hoax, all put on by this cop and others involved, is simply ludicrous and over the top. Several others have mentioned this to you as well.
And speaking of analysis, you fit the profile of a typical narcissist who never says their sorry or admits being wrong because they see themselves as perfect or superior. Based strictly on your own comments here, you might want to have that checked out. No joke.
Oh boy, the bootlickers are going to be PISSED at you for documenting the very common phenomenon of police disability fraud.
For me, there were two tip-offs here.
One, the story of a female officer taking on a male suspect alone and then getting beat down for a full three minutes while other officers were present, is not credible.
Two, the immediate politicization. Where’d the “I was scared of P.R. backlash” claim come from? An unconscious woman in the emergency room? And the PD Chief took that at face value with no investigation whatsoever and ran to the press?
It was only with further research that I found that their “witness” isn’t who the report says he is and that they have surveillance video of much much better quality available at that very same location.
Fits the profile of a hoax to a “T”.
Here is additional news video of witness interviews of this severe beating. Apparently they too were involved in this elaborate hoax/conspiracy as some here allege.

-—Sounds like a hoax.-—
American thinker is one of the most credible sites on the right...
I’m pretty sure they dot their I’s and cross their T’s
I know the author of this article personally.
In this particular case he’s relying on bad information. Happens to the best of them.
